TALLAHASSEE, Fla., OLYMPIA, Wash., and CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Workers’ compensation insurance is becoming much more of a problem than a benefit for companies across the country.
According to a story in the New York Times, the governors of the states of Florida, Washington, and West Virginia have called for special legislative sessions to tackle the sharply rising costs of this insurance. Other state governments are also introducing bills to curtail mounting costs.
